    It's all over the Internet with "writer unknown" or "anonymous."

    Here's the poem --

    I've got such a wonderful secret,
    Would you like to know it as well?
    I told it to Pu$$y [my cat] this morning
    And I'm quite sure that Pu$$y won't tell.

    Last night I crept into the study.
    And Nobody knew I was there,
    And I found such a beautiful dolly
    - in a box - on Dear Daddy's armchair.

    Now Daddy's too old for a dolly
    And Baby is only just three
    And I've got a birthday tomorrow
    So I think that dolly's for me

    All I can find is Anon. Maybe call your public library's reference desk? They will use Google but also have print resources that might list an author. It seems to be a UK poem from long ago.
